Re: [pde-ui-dev] plugin classpath ...

Hi TG,

In general the answer is "don't". Decoupling the metadata of a plugin
from its physical location can be problematic and should be avoided
wherever possible.

Having said that, the Equinox implementation recognizes that this is
not always possible, for example where a JAR such as a JDBC driver
must be shared with another application, or if that JAR cannot be
moved or modified either for technical or license reasons. In that
case you can import it using the "external:" modifier.

For details see section 20.4 (Bundling by Reference) in the RCP book,
or this post on EclipseZone:
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t63085.html

Kind regards,
Neil

Hi,

       How do I add a jar file in the user's system (either thru full
path or thru classpath variable) to the classpath of my plugin?
